In the [twentieth century]?, philosophers in Europe and the United States took diverging paths. The so-called [analytic philosophers]?, including Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, were centered in [[Oxford and Cambridge, and were joined by logical empiricists emigrating from Austria and Germany (e.g., [Rudolph Carnap]?) and their students and others in the United States (e.g., W. V. Quine) and other English-speaking countries. On the [continent of Europe]? (especially Germany and France), the phenomenologist? Germans Edmund Husserl and [Martin Heidegger]? led the way, followed soon by Jean-Paul Sartre and other existentialists; this led via other "isms" to postmodernism, which dominates schools of [critical theory]? as well as philosophy departments in France and Germany. |
